I would not copy readonly data to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/$NAME, I
would only copy the readwrite parts off from usr/share/appname.
<br>
And I would define the map data chmod 666 in spec so I could
programitically remove the data.

I like your idea.
<br>
Hardly any experience with RPM though. I'll have to dive into
that.
<br>
<br>
Sailfish people: please confirm if this is an allowed option.
<br>
Thanks.

Subject: [SailfishDevel] How to install user (controlled) data
files for my app avoiding /usr/share
<br>
<br>
Hi,
<br>
I am converting my aircraft navigation app to Sailfish.
<br>
It comes (default) with OpenStreet based maps + 3D data files of
Western
<br>
Europe (in RPM).
<br>
Most users will use this map, but some users may use their home
made
<br>
maps (generated by a PC application).
<br>
In the latter case, the users will delete this W-Europe map (it
takes up
<br>
quite some disk space).
<br>
So far so good, but the installation/RPM is a problem:
<br>
<br>
Harbour says that I should install the app data (very much bytes
for the
<br>
W-Eu map) in /usr/share/$NAME and in the first run of the app,
copy them
<br>
to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/$NAME.
<br>
But now I am stuck with an enormous amount of (useless) data in
<br>
/usr/share/$NAME that cannot be removed.
<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?
<br>
Thanks.
<br>
